Christmas Joy

It's Saturday!!  That means it's time for another challenge from Di's Digi Designs.

The challenge this time is: Fancy Fold
And here is my card for your inspiration:

I just received this adorable image from Di and couldn't wait to color her up.  Plus, I'm in a Christmas card making mood, so the image is perfect.  For my fancy fold, I created a gatefold card, but not just a plain gatefold . . .

The scalloped circle die cut is adhered to the left hand side of the card and the circle die cut is adhered to the right hand side, so the two separate as you open up the card.  Sticking on the flowers was a bit tricky as I needed them to adhere only to the proper section of die cut otherwise the card wouldn't open.  The flower in the upper left I actually had to adhere using foam tape so the circle could (mostly) slide underneath as it closes.

As you open up the card, you get a fun surprise as you can now see the sweet little bunny and lamb that are part of the image, but were covered up by the flowers on the front.

Here is is fully opened with the sentiment stamped inside:

Supplies:
Stamps: Di's Digi Stamps "Izzy's Nativity" digi; Verve "Beyond Measure" both sentiments
Dies: Spellbinders "Classic Circles, large", "Scalloped Circles, large", and "Layered Poinsettias"
